Check your Vin on the inside driver door pillar: your serial number might read like this

01314xxxxx

0=1950 (a 9 would=1949, 3=1953)
1314= Chev 1/2ton. 13= 1/2ton, 14 pickup delivery ( truck with a short box)
Xxxxx= number of the truck when it rolled off production line.

Canadian LIttle Bolts Chevrolet
1300- 1/2ton
1420- 3/4 ton
1430- 1 ton.

GMC
9300- 1/2
9420- 3/4
9430- 1 ton.

You should see these numbers in your trucks’ vin numbers if they are CDN built.

By the way, I agree with Alvin! How did you get Santa to keep visiting you? He quit visiting when I was like 10!

Make sure you hang on to Grandpa’s. That’s pretty special. Don’t let it go, they are hard/next to impossible to get back! Trust me, I know firsthand.
